It wasn't a total shock of a thing to say, since Nintendo's been using the Game Boy Color classic as an example of upcoming 3DS Virtual Console software for months. And many of us suspected that it would be a launch title for the service, when it first went live. Well, it kind of was and wasn't. The eShop was launched last night, and now Zelda has followed less than 24 hours later.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX is the colorized 1998 Game Boy Color remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, originally released for the first, monochrome Game Boy system in 1993. In addition to a fresh coat of paint, the remake also added an all-new dungeon and a few other extra features here and there.

It's an excellent game, and a safe choice to spend $5.99 on right away. But if you'd like a full review of this new 3DS re-release of a GBC remake of a Game Boy game, I'll have one for you guys soon.
